==Theories== Doxiadis is the father of "[[ekistics]]", which concerns the science of [[human settlements]], including regional, city, community planning and dwelling design.<ref name=":2" /> The term was coined by Doxiadis in 1942 and a major incentive for the development of the science is the emergence of increasingly large and complex settlements, tending to regional conurbations and even to a worldwide city.{{dubious|date=December 2022}} However, ekistics attempts to encompass all scales of human habitation and seeks to learn from the archaeological and historical record by looking not only at great cities, but, as much as possible, at the total settlement pattern. Doxiadis also coined the term ''entopia'', coming from the [[Greek language|Greek]] words Ρν ("in") and ΟΟΟΞΏΟ ("place").
